The SGA-5489 is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC Ampli-
fier. A Darlington configuration featuring 1 micron emitters
provides high F
T
and excellent thermal perfomance. The
heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes
leakage current between junctions. Cancellation of emitter
junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of
intermodulation products. Only 2 DC-blocking capacitors, a
bias resistor and an optional RF choke are required for op-
eration.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a
post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and
is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. This package is
also manufactured with green molding compounds that con-
tain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants.

Mounting Instructions
1. Solder the copper pad on the backside of the
device package to the ground plane.
2. Use a large ground pad area with many plated
through-holes as shown.
3. We recommend 1 or 2 ounce copper. Measurement
for this data sheet were made on a 31 mil thick FR-4
